title: [Progressive essential atrophy of the iris as a form of the iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome].
abstract: Authors report of two case studies, of a man aged 39 and a woman aged 47, diagnosed and treated at Nove Zamky Infirmary Ophthalmology Ward with progressive essential iris atrophy of one eye. Based on the clinical examinations of pathogenesis authors concluded that progressive essential iris atrophy together with Chandler's syndrome and Iris-naevus syndrome represent a manifestation of pathological processes that include a corneal endothelial proliferation and dramatic iris changes. The term "primary proliferative endothelial degeneration" emphasises the pathogenic origin of corneal endothelial proliferation in all described cases. This is best described as ICE syndrome.
